Magnolia Family Album

I received my copy of the latest Magnolia Ink magazine a couple weeks back. If you have seen it, there was a contest for making a family project representing your family in Magnolia images. Today I am sharing my project. I worked hard to get it submitted, but every time I sent the email, it would come back a day later saying it couldn't be sent, the mailbox was too full. I was never sure until the magazine arrived if they ever really got it. Since it wasn't published, I can share it with you here.

When I first read the contest request I immediately thought of the old tin-type photographs in the beautiful little metal folios lined with velvet. That is what I tried to recreate here.

I had great fun altering Edwin to be bald, because my husband is balding!

My daughter is in the purple dress, I am in the pink one, andthe image I used for my son and my husband is the sameEdwin, I just altered it and drew my own bald head.

It was difficult to photograph the depth inside the folio.The family poem came from my scrapbooking days!I colored all of the images with my Copics,cut them out,and mounted them at various distances off the background.

Thanks for visiting--please leave me a comment, so I know you were here!

Hi Pam, Great job! Sorry that didn't make the contest,but thank you for sharing with us. Very clever altering the picture for the bald head. My dad was pretty much bald my whole life. We use to tease him about it. thank you for sharing your art with us. Aloha from HawaiiCarol

This is such a fun altered creation Pam. I love the idea you made Tilda bald, so I can do the same thing for my husband who is balding too. (maybe worrying too much that his wife spending all the $$$ on buying stamps, lol)Hugs,Cabio
